No doubt the high school algebra teacher would argue otherwise, but I’m no math wiz. Still, if seems like if someone is willing to pay the higher figure, that’s what team is worth. The new owners think the team is now worth approximately $3 billion, which I think they may have confused with the cost of their current payroll.

Understand, when the team went up for sale, Forbes said the Dodgers were worth $800 million. So it’s doubled its previous valuation, though it somehow claims the Dodgers have only gone up 16% in value in the last year. Overall, baseball has gone up 23%.

Now Forbes does the best it can. Clearly it is not privy to the team’s books. And because the Dodgers have not submitted their $7-billion TV deal with Time Warner, there is no real information on that to consider. It's kind of best-estimate scenario.

Jamie McCourt is suspicious of what ex-hubby Frank McCourt valued the team at in their divorce agreement before the sale, and in a stunning development, is back in court suing him to reap a greater reward.

Now if the team sold for $2.15 billion not even a year ago and nothing has happened to decrease its value since, seems to me it’s worth at least $2.15 billion now.

That’s my sophisticated evaluation. Now anybody want to bid $9,000 for the Accord?
